Postfix Mail Directory
 
Hi everyone, i need to transfer some peoples mail boxes to a new server, such that they login to that server and access all their mail.
Both servers are running suse10.3 and have the exact postfix squirrelmail and dovecot, usernames and passwords all the same
My challenge is, i dont exactly know which directories on the server contain user's mail because i need to copy them onto a harddrive and paste them in the exact directories on the new server. Atleast i got that of the attachements.
Any idea?
Thank you all.

Depends on the setup of postfix, but you should try:

/var/spool/mail/username
and
/home/username/mail or /home/username/Maildir or /home/username/mbox
